Quite nice that - price is a bit steep tho :?
Previously owned loads of old E30s, E34s, a few E36s, E32s, E39s and an E38.

Currently in a diesel Audi - miss me old E30's....

christ i miss my manual 540. :(

i'd go as far as saying its the best car i ever owned.

the only question mark is the gearbox, they are pretty shite, especially around that kind of mileage. could fit a 5 speed i suppose but it might kid of spoil it for me.

i would pay close to that if its as good as it looks.

i know its metallic, i can read. :)

i refer to all dark blue cars as doom blue as thats what it looks like, wasnt aware doom blue referred to atlantis. orient looks ok when polished and in the sun. on a gloomy day it looks dull to me.

if it was a tidy car i'd still have it. :)

Looks like 9" rear e31 rc090s as well.

Priced at the higher end of the market, cheap equivlent e39s will probably make this hard to sell, except to someone who is desperate for an e34.

I'd rather have another E34 than an E39... but that's expensive.

Kicking myself still for not at least enquiring about that E34 6sp touring. :x

i've not seen many manuals for less than £2000, and if they are they sell in 5 mins literally.
